Mission Street
Vienna Teng
(Warm Strangers - 2004)

Intro:  Gmaj7  Cm  (2x)


Gmaj7                  Cm
   Mission Street is a striking dark-eyed stranger
    Gmaj7             D79              C             Cm
Who speaks a language I don't know but long to learn
    Gmaj7                   Cm
Its cadences fall endlessly beyond the windowpane
     Gmaj7          Cm             Gmaj7
As I sit as though awaiting some return


      G7                C
And my hands are cold tonight
                      Am
I'm sleepless in this dark
   Am              G
Forgetting what it was I came to find
      G7                    C
And it seems that I've been wrong
                    Am
More than I've been right
                    Dsus4  G
More than I've been right


Gmaj7                   Cm
   Mission Street calls out to me by name
             Gmaj7          D79              C     Cm
Then hurries on before I've hardly turned my head
Gmaj7                           Cm
   Promises of answers muttered underneath her breath
        Gmaj7       Cm            G
Like an offering of contraband misread


      G7                C
And my hands are cold tonight
                       Am
On the strings of this guitar
                          G
Looking for the chords of what I've left behind
      G7                    C
And it seems that I've been wrong
                    Am
More than I've been right
                    Dsus4  G
More than I've been right


Interlude:  Gmaj7  Cm  (2x)


Gmaj7                 Cm
   Mission Street is alive at every hour
          Gmaj7          D79              C       Cm
Like I've never been and feared I may not ever be
Gmaj7                       Cm  
   A light so steady on the mountains in the distance
  Gmaj7       Cm             G
A solitude so deep it might awaken me


       G7                C
Well my hands are cold tonight
                           Am
But the sky is bright with stars
                            D4                 G
And I'm tearing through the veil that keeps me blind
      G7                  C
And it seems the more I'm wrong
                   Am
The more that I am right
                   Dsus4  G
The more that I am right


Gmaj7            Cm
Mission Street
        Gmaj7    Cm    G5
Mission Street
